The ACLU was forced to remove two paragraphs from one of their press releases about the existance of a lawsuit challenging the USA Patriot Act.
One of the paragraphs has been restored, and the second paragraph was printed in a Washington Post article.
Here are the two paragraphs in question:
The parties have agreed to a briefing schedule in the case. The ACLU will file a summary judgment motion on May 17, 2004; the government will respond on June 7, 2004; all briefing will be completed in July 2004. The court is likely to schedule arguments in the case in late summer 2004. The case is assigned to Judge Victor Marrero.
The provision under challenge allows an FBI agent to write a letter demanding the disclosure of the name, screen names, addresses, e-mail header information, and other sensitive information held by 'electronic communication service providers.'
